Of work and related things.

I'm working at an advertising company right now, for a few weeks; James from my Honours class told me his aunt's company needed someone for a few weeks to do some simple work with Excel, so I told him yes, and his auntie got me the job! So nice of her. And him, of course. :)

But, as always seems to be the case, data entry is boring, terribly uninspiring stuff. The lady who gives me work to do seems to think I'm really fast though. Same thing happened when I did data entry for Reckitt-Benckiser. Odd. I wonder how long previous temp staff that they had took to do stuff. Or was their typing speed *that* slow??

Other than that, work has been a chore for some other reasons, despite the fact that it's only been three days. The strap on my pair of white heels broke (again) and on my FIRST DAY; I was late by about 15 minutes, but good thing James' auntie was nice and understanding; she even lent me a pair of shoes I could use to get around in for the time being. I went out during lunch later and got myself a new pair of shoes.

And this new pair of shoes has been busy gnawing away at my heels for the last two and a half days.

I think they just need to be worn out a bit more so the material will be a bit softer and the shoe itself will have expanded to fit me better, but well, the day before I started work, I was wearing another pair of new shoes which were a size too small for me, I think.

I have no idea why, but when I tried them on and walked around in the shop, they seemed to fit. Argh. If no one else in my family wants them, I'm gonna be posting pictures up here so I can sell them. They're still in pretty good condition anyway, considering they've only been worn once and were bought less than a week ago.

Anyway, back to the point. That pair of shoes gave me quite a few blisters, and this new white pair that I have now aren't doing wonders for those blisters. It hurts to walk with OR without shoes on now. -_-

The only bright side I can think of is that Kenny's bookstore is just next door to where I'm working. ^_^ I pop over during lunchtime and after work; looking at all the books makes me happy, even though I can't buy them. :P Although it does make me feel bad; I keep popping in and out and I never buy anything. Hopefully I'm not too irritating. :(

And I only recently realised that Christmas is less than two weeks away! Wow. How did that happen...
